It also increases the chance of someone else winning it. A lot of premiership teams got easy draws there, only decent draw was Aberdeen v LiviQuote:

Full Draw
Stranraer vs Hibs or QotS
Motherwell vs Morton
St Mirren vs ICT
St Johnstone vs Clyde
Huns or Cove vs Celtc
Aberdeen vs Livvy
Forfar vs Dundee Utd
Killie vs Montrose
What's the reason we are concerned about the prize pot?
If we turn up and be professional twice we’re in the quarter finals. Whichever side wins the old firm tie will be odds on to win the competition anyway, with us likely second favourites.
Ticket revenues for games that aren’t going to have any fans at them?Quote:

Me too. Even after all that’s been said about.:confused:Quote:

What’s the situation with Europe next season. I understand if us,1st or 2nd win the cup then we are guaranteed group stages but if someone outside the top 3 wins the Scottish where does that leave us?

Ooft. Interesting. Gotta win tomorrow first but very interesting.
Only one of Aberdeen Livi or Dundee United in a semi, with the winner of the old firm getting St Johnstone. Not much outwith those teams going to win it I wouldn’t think, if it wasn’t us or the old firm.
We have a decent path to the semi finals there, two tricky away ties and most likely Motherwell at Easter Road. All very doable.
We wouldn’t be guaranteed to get in the group stages . We would enter the Europa in an earlier round and if we lost , we would be out .Quote:
